With the beginning of a new school year, parents often think, with a new teacher, a new class, or perhaps a new school, that this year will be different - their child will finally begin to understand math and not become frustrated.Unfortunately, they soon discover that those math gaps have not gone away.

Mathnasium offersafun and challenging way to get kids back up to grade level with summer boot camps. These are packages offoursessions that run for two hoursdailyfor four consecutive days during the first two weeks of August. “These are intensive versions of our Power Math Workout packages to get your student up and running before school starts,” says Mathnasium’s Alan Cotton.

The first of the two sessions runs August 4-7 and the second runs August 11-14.

If you’re going to be gone those weeks, all is not lost.Mathnasium’s Power Math Workout is also available in the fall. In this program, students attend two to three times per week for about an hour at each visit. The goal is to enhance your child’s math skills, understanding of math concepts and overall school performance.

Your trained Mathnasium instructor will begin with an assessment to determine each child’s specific needs. From that, he or she will create a customized learning plan designed to strengthen needed areas. The program consists of individual instruction and guided practice designed to help your child learn the concepts behind the math problems.

Homework assistance is also available, although Alan stresses that the plan is not so much to help do homework as it istodiscover why homework has become so frustrating and difficult.

Mathnasium instructors regularly measure your child’s progress by grades, quarterly assessments and, hopefully, a growing love of mathematics. They will also offer test-taking strategies and tips that will reduce the stress that is too often inherent in the testing process. This helps the many students who know the concepts but “freeze up” on test day.

Students can sign up for a monthly membership anytime. No contracts are required.

Mathnasium also offers help for standardized tests such as the SAT, ACT,STAARand others. There are also programs for adults who may be returning to college after years away from school.

It’s also a great place for those who excel at math and want to move ahead at their own pace.

Summer hours are 10:00-12:00 and 2:00-5:00 Monday through Friday, with game times scheduled from 11:30-12:00 and 2:00-2:30.
